About Me

My Journey as a fabric artist began as I sat on the floor by my mother's feet and put buttons on a string as she sewed. I became an educator in the field of clothing and textiles. My recent journey has led me to art quilts, altered fabric art, and most recently longarm quilting. I named my Handi Quilter Avante after my great grandmother, Flora. Flora and I are together on this most recent journey. Welcome to my artistic journey and join me as I "Follow the Grainline"!
